ReUP: Reentry Redefined Conference

The Reentry Redefined Conference is a powerful two-day event dedicated to addressing the real, complex needs of formerly incarcerated men and women while advancing collaborative, system-level solutions that work. Through dynamic keynote speakers, breakout sessions, workforce-focused workshops, lived-experience panels, and intentional networking spaces, the conference centers returning citizens while strengthening the agencies, organizations, and leaders who serve them.
